Nazarian / Curcio is excited to be back at The Armory Show at Booth 207, presenting new and recent works by Coady Brown, Daniel Gordon, Larissa Lockshin, Ken Gun Min, Vincent Pocsik, Summer Wheat.
Coady Brown (b. 1990) creates paintings that examine how groups, couples, and solitary figures navigate self-presentation in private and public life. Often situated within the drama and darkness of nightlife, Brown’s paintings explore the nuances of moving through the world in a feminized body. Figures are often compressed into tightly framed, intimate spaces that expose the subtle complexities of our interpersonal connections and relationships.
Daniel Gordon (b. 1980 ) is known for photography and sculpture that employ appropriation and reproduction in order to question the nature of the image-object relationship. Melding optical illusion, pastiche, mixed media, and a recalibration of analog processes, Gordon consciously reframes what it means to have a photographic practice. A labyrinth built from formalist notions of color, form, line, and composition, his photographs are comprised of disparate images that have been collapsed and recontextualized.
Larissa Lockshin (b. 1992) 's painting practice is grounded in a sustained investigation of the relationship between image, material, and perception. Rather than treating the surface as a neutral support for representation, she constructs each painting as an interdependent object in which satin, pigment, light, gesture, and frame remain in constant relation. Areas of concentrated pigment absorb light while exposed passages of satin reflect it, creating a shifting tension between opacity and luminosity, figure and ground.
Ken Gun Min (b. 1976)'s paintings explore intimacy, masculinity, and representation across cultures through a practice that combines Western-style oil paints, Korean pigments, found textiles, embroidery, and beading on raw canvas. Blending figuration and landscape, his compositions merge painting and textile traditions to create immersive worlds where beauty becomes a vehicle for vulnerability, desire, memory, and power.
Vincent Pocsik (b. 1985) is a Los Angeles–based artist whose work explores the boundaries between sculpture and functional design. Working primarily with walnut and oak, he merges traditional hand-carving techniques with digital fabrication to create objects that examine the relationship between the human body, urban environments, and material transformation.
Summer Wheat (b. 1977) is known for her vibrant paintings, multifaceted sculptures, and immersive installations that weave together the history of materiality, figuration, and abstraction in both fine art and craft milieus. Each series engages individual and collective human experiences drawn from historical and contemporary sources, mediated through a variety of references ranging from ancient art and medieval tapestries, to etchings from the Renaissance, to modernist abstractions.
